You can access the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s Definitive Map using the following link: Definitive Map – Vale of Glamorgan Council
This interactive map is an excellent resource for locating properties across the Vale, including those in remote or rural areas. It includes the names of individual houses throughout the county. I also find it useful for walking in the Vale.
To find a property:
- Click on the “My Maps” tab near the top left of the page.
- Enter the house name or address in the search box.
- Alternatively, click “Take me to” in the left-hand sidebar to select a specific area, then zoom in to view individual house names.
For walkers and outdoor enthusiasts:
The map also shows the definitive routes of public rights of way, including footpaths and bridleways.
To view these:
- Click “Map categories” in the left-hand sidebar.
- Expand the “Countryside” section by clicking the + icon.
- Select “Public rights of way.”
Additional features:
You can explore a variety of other local information. For example, by clicking “My House” (top left), you can view nearby planning applications and other useful details about your local area.
